In addition to Sarasota, I have been active in Alliance Française chapters in Chicago and suburban Detroit, as well as serving as the president of the Federation of Alliances Françaises, U.S.A., Inc.  I have a passion for France,  things French, including the French language, which I attempt to speak, and francophone culture, which I continue to study.

Stanislaus RP “Stan” Valerga is a retired U.S. Senior Foreign Service Officer who spent much of his career in Francophone countries.  He has been a Sarasota resident off and on since 1991 and a AFS member since 2010.
“I am an unabashed francophile especially ‘à table’ and go to France at least  once every two years.  The attachment is me having a laugh with then PM Jacques Chirac in Lyon in about 1988.”
